Exam Timeline
An Anki add-on that shows your upcoming exams on a
horizontal countdown timeline. Each exam appears as a card with a large
"days left" number, sorted so the nearest exam is first.
Features
- Timeline widget on the deck (home) and deck-overview screens showing
upcoming exams, nearest first, each with a large day countdown. Use the
β / β arrow keys to step through exams.
- Separate editor window for entering and removing exams β the widget itself
stays read-only.
- Exams persist between sessions and past exams are hidden from the widget
automatically.
Usage
The timeline appears on the deck and deck-overview screens. To manage exams, open
Tools β Exam Timeline (or click the gear next to the countdown): type a name, pick a
date, and click Add exam. Remove an exam with the Γ on its row. Changes
appear on the deck screen immediately.
